    As far as I know it will be END of June... not at the beginning of June. So, you have to wait about a month or so... and yes, RIM don't have much control over when this will be released. But RIM has the ability to pressure the Canadian service providers to release as soon as possible.

    so.. you're uncle, or maybe even your dad.

    It's released on a carier-by-carrier basis so there will be a number of dates. I think this one seems a bit too early.

    Chaz, i'm pretty sure Greg was kidding...

    That's because my cousin's friend's mom knows someone that their dad's friend's 2nd cousin works for RIM and says June 10th (JK of course, or am I? Mwahahahahaha! )

    I have a friend who has another friend. That other friend works at Dell. Inside Dell, there's this guy who, through LinkedIn saw this really hot girl. They chatted a few times through messages but nothing serious happened.

    Her friend knows a guy that used to date this not-so-hot chick, apparently she knows someone that works at RIM and he was very specific in confirming the release date was this summer.

    YES!

    No disrespect to your friend or his Mom but Rim doesn't have the ability to set the release date until it has passed testing with the carriers and even then its more in the hands of the carriers than Rim. Oh and it hasn't passed testing with carriers at this time...

    A more positive way to read this post:

    The way I read this post was DeeDudnath has a friend who's Mom works at Rim. No where did I read that DeeDudnath said "Rim will release the phone", so I'd take this to mean that from what the OP understands from his friend, is that the various carriers will be releasing the phones somewhere late June early July. My best guess is mid-summer!
    By the way DeeDudnath thanks for posting the information for us - it gives us hope

    This is just getting ridiculous with these "I have a friend who knows someone or who works at RIM." This isn't good news or even news at all. Another rumor from someone with no proof. So I was like, do you like me, and she was like, yep, so I was like wow, I like you too, and like, we hungout.

    let me say that a lot of times, being a member of this site motivates me to ask RIM employees questions about unreleased devices. outside of being a big fan of blackberrys, I think it's important that unanswered questions get a response.

    up until a reply like yours shows up.

    you want proof? wait until official info is released. otherwise, you can cut your ******** and stop visiting threads like this.

    Yeah, I usually don't comment on these useless rumor "i know a friend who" threads, but work made me cranky today. Sorry about that.
